"We have multiple solutions we can deploy through the F5."

"I would like them to have more flexible models."
"The solution could improve the ease of use, the management could be simplified. Other solutions are easier to use."
"In terms of pricing, it could be more competitive."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
